One of the world's largest cruise lines will eliminate all single-use plastic bottles from its fleet—a move it says will remove over six million plastic bottles from its boats every year.
One of the world's largest cruise lines announced Wednesday that it was eliminating all single-use plastic bottles from its fleet by the end of the year -- a move it says will remove over six million plastic bottles from its boats every year.
"It is imperative that we take meaningful steps to preserve our oceans and the destinations we visit," Andy Stuart, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line said in a statement, adding that"partnering with JUST is one of my proudest moments, as the head of our pioneering brand." "Decades of reliance on single-use plastic has flooded our planet with so much garbage that we now find plastic everywhere we look," John Hocevar, a marine biologist and the Oceans Campaign director at Greenpeace USA told ABC News."Plastic is in Arctic waters and Antarctic snow, at the tops of remote mountain ranges and the bottom of the deepest ocean trenches."
